Well I know why he hasn't called me, it looks like he isn't coming back now. Just got off the phone from his father & he wants to try & make it work with him
Oh dear, obviously dad is talking **** again.
I used to see this happening all the time at work, sometimes they to and fro a bit (depending on what each parent is offering!) and it can be disruptive for all, and sad for mum too.
The poor kid may get his heart broken by his dad again, but you can't stop that (ouch). If you want him to learn about his dad, he will have to do that on his own, and come to his own conclusions.
I would let him know that your door is open if he needs to come home, but that there will be rules you all need to discuss first, and he can have some input if he can be mature about it.
It may just be a matter of time before he does come home, so at least you have time up your sleeve to determine the 'conditions'. My DD and I had family counselling to help resolve some issues and it was magic for us both. You might find it helpful too if there is that sort of thing around your area.
Poor you, it's not nice being on the sidelines like this......
